Vile,
There had to be some explaination for what appears to be relatively recent river beds on the face of Mars. As you well know the Martian atmosphere can't achieve liquid water as the triple point of solid liquid gas as defined by pressure vs tempersture just isn't there.
I firmly believe that they will eventually find simple life forms on Mars. I do not nor should anypone else expect to find advanced civilations there as does Mr Hougland. Although he does present some interesting pictures from NASA his interpretations leave something to be desired - like any training in geology whatsoever. I do find the man intertaining and he should be listened to but only in the vein of Groucho Marks or Eric Idle.
I congratulate you on your insight.
